Osvaldo Martin

Osvaldo Martin is a researcher at CONICET, in Argentina. He has experience using Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods to simulate molecules and perform Bayesian inference. He loves to use Python to solve data analysis problems. He is especially motivated by the development and implementation of software tools for Bayesian statistics and probabilistic modeling. He is an open-source developer, and he contributes to Python libraries like PyMC, ArviZ and Bambi among others. He is interested in all aspects of the Bayesian workflow, including numerical methods for inference, diagnosis of sampling, evaluation and criticism of models, comparison of models and presentation of results.

Multiple logistic regression

In a similar fashion to multiple linear regression, multiple logistic regression is about using more than one independent variable. Let's try combining the sepal length and the sepal width. Remember we need to pre-process the data a little bit:

df = iris.query("species == ('setosa', 'versicolor')") 
y_1 = pd.Categorical(df['species']).codes
x_n = ['sepal_length', 'sepal_width']
x_1 = df[x_n].values

The boundary decision

Feel free to skip this section and jump to the model implementation (next section) if you are not too interested in how we can derive the boundary decision.

From the model, we have the following equation:

And from...
